The $199 to $499 Realtors Flat Fee
MLS Listing service offered at this site includes your home being listed by a licensed
real estate agent in the MLS which is used by all the other Realtors in your area. This
Multiple Listing Service, or MLS as it is commonly called, is the way that a Realtor
cooperates with other Realtors in your area to make them aware that a specific property is
for sale and that they are being offered a specific commission to sell it to their buyer
clients. This is the SAME MLS which any other Realtor charging you up to 6 or 7% for a MLS
listing would list your home in. The difference is that you pay a FLAT FEE of $199
to $499 to be listed in the MLS instead of a listing commission which in most cases is
HALF the total commission Realtors charge (by way of example if the total commission is 6%
the listing broker usually keeps 3% and then offers 3% to the broker who finds the buyer).
That is a lot of money considering that the listing broker only sells the home themselves
about 5% of the time.
